Guys, my sisters mini one (2002) requires a new boot handle as the light cover has broken away and also corroded the light contacts. Apart from BMW where else would I be able to get one?

Also, is this an easy fix? I presume it's just a case of removing the boot inner trim and unscrewing the fixings?

The handle undoes from the out side though you may need to take the cover off to undo the connection. It is very simple to remove the inside panel, 4 screws and then just clips

What colour is the car. I have a blue one sitting in my garage in good order which I replaced with a chrome one.

It's silver. Thanks for that anyway.

I've been quotee £35 + VAT from Mini Spares UK. Does this sound about right?

Thanks for the replies.

sounds a good price to me.

My MCS was about to fail its MOT because of this last year.

Got my regular BMW Indi to source the unpainted part for me, have it sprayed and then let them fit it (otherwise they'd have done the whole job for me for nothing). Think total bill was £80 something.
